I'm running the Genesis Off road dual battery system with two X2 batteries I put in around mid February. For the last couple of days, my main battery has been at the 12.2V mark when I go to turn on the jeep in the morning while my auxiliary is at 12.4-12.5V. The smart isolator disconnects both batteries at 12.6V. I would think 12.2V would suffice to start the engine but as soon as I crank it, voltage goes to 11.5 and it won't start, I then have to hit the boost button to link both batteries and the I'll be able to start the jeep. During the rest of the day the car will start fine, but I figure that is mostly because both batteries are connected. In the last two months I've had two wheeling trips where I've had to make maybe 6-8 pulls total with the winch and all of them with the engine running. The winch and all of my other accessories are connected to the bus bar on the dual battery system, not any specific battery. The only things that pull power of the cranking battery while the isolator has the batteries disconnected are the internal Jeep things, like the radio, inside lights, etc...
Could the winch pulls have killed the batteries capacity to crank the rated CCA?
Any pointers, ideas, advice is greatly appreciated...
